FLSA Considerations in a Remote Work Environment

Remote work has created a number of additional employment law challenges. One challenge that receives little consideration is the impact of remote work on the Fair Labor Standards Act's (FLSA's) overtime requirements. An employer is required to pay its remote employees for all hours worked where the employer knew or had reason to know the employee performed the work.

Nonprofits with a non-exempt workforce should correctly classify employees and develop policies that prevent employees from unilaterally accruing overtime. Learn which employees are eligible for overtime and how the FLSA overtime rules are applied to remote employees.

Learning Objectives: Participants will have the information necessary to develop and implement policies to govern employees' hours worked in a remote work environment; determine which employees are eligible for overtime; understand options and best practices for reclassifying employees who have been designated ineligible; and what hours are mandatory to include in the calculation of overtime.

For senior management, HR executives, and payroll administrators.
